You should be able to play what you want.

I sit here around the table with my gaming buddies, spewing out inside jokes to each other. Some of these require the knowledge of certain games, movies, shows, or instances in the store from the past. All of which have one of the players as the butt of the joke. One dead on comment spurs another tangent from someone until the table is laughing and no one remembers whose turn it is. Then it begins all again just as things seem to settle down. The ultimate goal is to be the last one to get the zinger. Or just plan distract the opponent. Often times horribly imitated dialects, make up a good portion of the rants. Until someone either does it too good or messes it up horribly. Laughing makes up a large portion of game nights, one of the main reasons I love coming to them. The company far outways the negative comments that are portrayed by nongamers, but even nongamers are gamers. Almost everyone plays some sort of game. Cribbage, Monopoly, Sorry, Crazy Eights, Scrabble. All games involving cards and or game pieces. Why do you play them? Could it be because you enjoy getting the family and friends to come over for a fun filled night? That's all that "gamers" are doing. Yea we might have fancy little dolls and binders full of cards, but all were doing is having a fun night. And getting a little ribbing in too.
